the witness
“I was lying on the motorcycle, with my body on one side and my legs on the other, and they beat me along the way. They didn’t break my ribs but they hurt me a lot and I had trouble breathing.” Yocheved Lifschitz, 85, one of the women taken hostage and freed by Hamas on Monday evening, said this. “We were lying on the mattresses and they really took care of hygiene so that we didn’t get sick,” she added. “They treated us well.” “They took care of all our needs, they were very courteous – she continued – They tried to talk about politics but we said: no politics. We were their prisoners”. “On Saturday morning, when everything was very quiet, there was a very heavy bombing and they entered the kibbutz – she continued to tell her – They seemed ready for this, they had been preparing for a long time.” “It was very unpleasant – she admitted – I keep seeing pictures of what happened.”
